Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I haven't seen Black Narcissus. Is it one I should hold out seeing on big screen or can I dvd it?

Unless you live in a huge metropolitan city where there are periodic Powell and Pressburger retrospectives (NYC or San Francisco, pretty much), chances of catching BN on a big screen would be pretty slim. The DVD is beautifully remastered (I believe the fine folks at Criterion had their hands at it) and totally worth a rental.

I did have a good luck of seeing Life and Death of Colonel Blimp on big screen during a film festival in Toronto a decade ago and it was pretty spectacular.

Our wings are not tired.

Ooooh, Frank, I'll look for it.

Vonnie: Hi! And yes, I live in the SF Bay Area. Not as many retro houses as we used to have, but we still have a few.

I make a point of holding out for the spectacular; for example I waited 13 years to see Sunrise, which came to the Castro in the mid-90's. Totally worth the wait.

Sunrise with Janet Gaynor? I've always wanted to see that.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ryan Reynolds is shirtless on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. Whatever movie he did that for, I thank the director.

He looks overtanned, though. (Not that I've spent time looking at it, or anything.) (Om nom nom nom.)

Yep. And George O'Brien. It's beautiful.

It's for the new Sandra Bullock rom-com, The Proposal. I've watched it, mostly because I like rom-com as a genre and have a everlasting weakness for Sandra Bullock, but it's not very good. But Reynolds is half-naked in a couple of scenes though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't think that's for a movie, it's just what EW decided to do.

My sistah! She's adorable and hysterical, even in the dreck.

Hahaha, oh, good. You don't want to know how often I have watched Two Weeks Notice, which is my favourite of the Bullock rom-com oeuvre. I love it (almost) unironically. I own the damn movie, even.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think I have seen that? I probably liked it.

Miss Congeniality was much funnier than I expected it to be.
